You are constantly sending signals without saying a word—and so is everyone around you. The way someone sits, moves their hands, looks at you, or suddenly changes their posture can offer clues about what they’re thinking and feeling. But reading body language correctly is more complicated than simply assuming crossed arms mean someone is defensive. Scott Rouse is a behavior analyst and body language expert who holds multiple certificates in advanced interrogation training and has trained alongside the FBI, Secret Service, U.S. Military Intelligence, and Department of Defense.

I thought I had a pretty good idea of where my money was going and then I started using Monarch. And it turns out there's a big difference between thinking you know and actually seeing it all laid out in front of you.

0:15

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (24 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
